The recently-revealed Codemasters racer DiRT 3, due out on the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 next year, will have "snow and ice, dynamic weather, YouTube uploads, fierce rides and epic tracks, splitscreen support, party modes, an open-world playground and more real-life sponsors and stars than ever," according to the latest issue of Edge magazine.
A new career mode emphasises working and racing as a team, and starts you off as a "privateer" racing cars from the 90s.100 routes are promised, stretching from Norway, Aspen and Monte Carlo to the plains of Africa.
You can trim your replays and upload them to YouTube. There's a combo system that analyses how close your car is to obstacles before working out your score.
Codies has ditched DiRT 2's divisive festival-themed menus and replaced them with a "more stylised" front end. The UK publisher/developer reckons it's got the balance of appealing to US and European fans "bang on" in terms of voice-over and narrative.
And, of course, there are party modes, namely: Transporter, Goldrush, Outbreak and Cat 'n' Mouse.
